The dynamic stiffness matrix of a uniform isotropic beam element based on trigonometric shear deformation theory is developed in this paper. The theoretical expressions for the dynamic stiffness matrix elements are found directly, in an exact sense, by solving the governing differential equations of motion that describe the deformations of the beam element according to the trigonometric shear deformation theory, which include the sinusoidal variation of the axial displacement over the cross section of the beam. The application of the dynamic stiffness matrix to calculate the natural frequencies and normal mode shapes of two rectangular beams is discussed. The numerical results obtained are compared to the available solutions wherever possible and validate the accuracy and efficiency of the present approach.

In this paper, the first order shear deformation theory is used to derive an analytical formulation for shrink-fitted thick-walled functionally graded cylinders. It is assumed that the cylinders have constant Poisson’s ratio and the elastic modulus varies radially along the thickness with a power function. Furthermore, a finite element simulation is carried out using COMSOL Multiphysics, which has the advantage of defining material properties as analytical functions. The results from first order shear deformation theory are compared with the findings of both plane elasticity theory and FE simulation. The results of this study could be used to design and manufacture for elastic shrink-fitted FG cylinders.
